Explore Talent, a premier online social-network for talented individuals in the entertainment industry, announced a new blog on their news site today, titled, "First Photos of Robert Downey Jr.'s Son, Released," on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno on 5/3/12. The blog, (http://news.exploretalent.com/first-photos-of-robert-downey-jr-s-son-released/) states that "The Avengers" star, Robert Downey Jr. visited the set of "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on 5/3/12 to promote the
release of his movie, but the hot topic of the night wasn't the film, but his son, Exton. Born, in February of this year, the eight-week-old was on Downey Jr.'s mind during the interview.

The actor confessed that the last time he was on "The Tonight Show," he got into trouble with his wife, Susan: "I wasn't supposed to reveal the sex. When I got home it was not a really happy moment."

He then said: "I'd get in huge trouble" for showing a photo of Exton on live TV, but, then, he surprisingly added: "Well, if you want me to I will."

Downey Jr. then showed two adorable photos, one of Exton cuddling with Susan, and another of a solo shot of the baby. "He's so darn cute, isn't he?" Downey Jr. said.

The actor also explained the origin of his son's unique name: "My wife's great uncle was kind of eccentric. He lives in Madison, Wisconsin. When he was in the fourth grade he realized he didn't have a middle name, so he changed his name [to Exton]."
